Researchers have demonstrated a technique that allows them to track microscopic changes in metals or other materials in real time even when the materials are exposed to extreme heat and loads for an extended period of time—a phenomenon known as “creep.” The technique will expedite efforts to develop and characterize materials for use in extreme environments, such as nuclear reactors.
